## Basic tasks

### Bulk convert basic tasks into Jira work items

All tasks are converted to the same Jira work item type. 

- The task tree structure is preserved - a task that was a parent will still be a parent.
- The start and end dates are preserved.
- Dependencies between tasks are preserved.
- Assignee is preserved.

To convert multiple tasks to Jira work items, first select the tasks.

- Jira **space** in which the tasks will be created (required)
- Select an **issue type** (required)
- Fill out the **Label **field if you want to add a label to the tasks (optional)

Then click **Save** to initiate the conversion.
